Creating an Arrival Profile manually

You can also create Arrival Profiles manually by entering the required information into the worksheet.

In this procedure, if you want to create a pending Entrance after import (with an associated Demand Line) then you must supply the Origin name, Supply/Entity Type and Destination; if you just want to import the Arrival Profile, leave these three options blank.

To create an Arrival Profile manually:

Enter a start and end time for your profile in columns J and K underneath the heading ‘Time intervals [hh.mm.ss]’
In the first cell of a new row, select Arrival Profile from the drop-down list.
In the next cell along, enter a name in the column labelled ‘Profile name’.
In the next cell along, select an ‘Origin name’ from the drop-down list or type in your own.
Note: You will receive a warning message if you enter origin or destination names that do not appear in the OD matrix but you can still import the data into LEGION Model Builder.
In the next cell along, select a ‘Supply/Entity Type’ from the drop-down list.
In the next cell along, select a ‘Destination’ from the drop-down list, or type in your own.
To add a range of statistical noise to your data, specify minimum and maximum levels in each profile’s ‘Noise’ cell, separating them with a comma.
If you wish to spread the OD matrix data over the course of the model runtime or over a specific time, enter a value (in seconds) in the cell labelled ‘Spread’, equivalent to the runtime of the simulation.
Add the total number of demand in the first cell of the profile (column J in our template). If you want to add precise data linked to specified time intervals, see the next procedure.
Note: Leaving the ‘Spread’ cell blank will spread the data over any defined time intervals.
